As a group, you will be researching and gathering data on the simple machines and engineering concepts. Once you have all the information needed, together as a group, you will create your own wikispace!
Information that you will need to gather and research: 1) Definition of your simple machine or engineering concept 2) Examples using classroom supplies 3) Video demonstrating how your simple machine or engineering concepts works 4) Real life examples of your simple machine or engineering concept with a voice description 5) Writing Prompt: Can you imagine what our lives would be like without simple machines and engineering? Tell how your simple machine or engineering concept helps make life easier (provides an advantage to the user). Make sure you include key vocabulary in your write up.
Listed below are your groups and topics! Have fun!!! Levers: Class 1 – Rahul and Sean Class 2 – Elise and Nicole Class 3 – Michele and Ben
